My brother Brian Wilson lives in
Curtin.
He is not a bird watcher, but grew up in a
birdwatching family and knows his birds reasonably well. I am perfectly
confident of his ability to recognise the birds in question in this
report.
He has told me that he has seen , Major
Mitchell Cockatoos on 3 occasions in the Curtin and Hughes area, in the last two
weeks:
- The first time was a pair of Major
Mitchells, with a flock of Galahs - in Hughes, close to Yarra Glen, near
the Retirement Village close to the crossover road which runs from Curtin to
Hughes.
- The second time was 4 Major Mitchells - not
with other birds.
- The third time was a single M.M. with a
flock of Galahs, in Curtin, roughly opposite the Mint.
